I run the NF-A14 2k's in my system and have six of them. Three on the front 420mm radiator, two exhausting out the top and one exhausting out the back of a Phanteks Evolv X case. The system is generally so quiet you can't tell it is on except for the LEDs, but pushed to the limit it can get pretty loud. Can't imagine using the 3k's, which I thought about for a moment before comparing the noise levels.

@sk-sm9sh 8 ай бұрын

With 420mm rad of course you don't need much of fan speed. It seems to me that it can be pretty useful in more compact system where there is limited cooling capacity and if one only occasionally needs to crank up cpu to full utilization fan like this can keep up with it with undersized cooler at expense of noise.

@kristofarsabev4123 Жыл бұрын

Bought 2 NF-A14 3000 brefore i even read the description and now its sometimes hella loud and what you described as cooling affect i can feel it too. When i put my hand behind my pc case while running heavy games the gpu heat flies so fast out of the case that i dont feel heat escaping but chill air instead. They are monsters and very good aslong as you run them under or at 50% speed. After 50% noise levels rise up pretty fast. Thank you for making review about it, I thought I'm losing my mind after i checked the spec sheet with 'supposed noise production' of 40 ish db. It caught me of guard when i tested it my self and hit 62db on closed front case. Case is Corsair Carbide 275r (non-airflow model).

If you wanna get rid of the insane speed jumps, you can use one of Noctua’s PWM blockers. Or anybody else’s. There are tons of them out there. Unsure to what max-speed they would be throttled, but it’s definitely better than 100% on pc start ^^

@peoplez129 Жыл бұрын

I bought one too several years ago and its been sitting in the closet ever since I realized how loud it is. Even running it at minimum speeds is not silent like a regular noctua. It's great at pulling air, but there just isn't a silent speed for it. Also I don't know if the site specs are wrong or the packaging is wrong, but my static pressure specs are listed at over 10mm instead of 6mm. My heatsink fan is starting to get noisy when it has to ramp up, so I might have to pull it out and use it as a backup. The main place it shines is as an exhaust or intake fan though. It's soo strong it will make your case negative pressure, but it will pull in soo much air from everywhere that it makes sure there aren't any dead zones where things can heat up. You could even technically use it in a build with no intake fans. My case has two small 80mm intakes, and it pulled soo much air as an exhaust fan that the intake fans were basically pointless. Would have been nice if they could have made it just as quiet as a normal fan.

@@peoplez129You probably didn’t configure yours correctly. I have TWO of these in a Lian-Li O11D Evo set to intake. You can have noise normalized levels below 40% and still retain good performance. Both of mines are running at 14% power when I’m just browsing the web or doing something light and they follow my GPU’s junction temperature. All of this is controlled by “Fan Control”. Once you get above 1K RPM. That’s when they really start screaming. Otherwise, they sit quietly below 1K RPM.

I use a pair of these in a small rack cabinet to draw air into the case the rack holds my firewall, switches and some media kit.. All that kit dumps a lot of heat fast when you have everything running. With the standard fans it wasn't unusual to see the case temps sit around 40c + in summer (using the switch readouts), with these I barely hit above 30c more often it's sitting at 20c. It's insane how much air these things draw into the rack in fact we had a test that held a piece of A4 at the bottom of the rack and it was almost powerful enough to hold against the vent, I assume if we air sealed the case it'd probably do so!

I run them. 2 on an nhd15. Fan curve of course to keep noise down. When cpu goes 100% it ramps up to max rpm and it keeps the system cool. In order for it to work the case fan needs to remove the air, so i got a 200 plus cfm delta server fan removing the air from the case also on the same fan curve.

@hiddencow Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video with all that data. Just a point, I am able to run my industrial NF-A14 3000rpm fans as lower than 25%. RPM goes to below 400rpm and are very quiet. You are totally right in that there is absolutely no need to run them at anywhere near 3000rpm though. When I bought them, they weren't much more than the other 140mm fan so I thought why not. One downside compared to the non-industrial fans is you don't get the other accessories in the box.

I think for general use the 200rpm version are the best compromise as when you start going above that noise can get a bit annoying as most industrial fans above about noise they care about the cooling capacity, if you do happen to buy this 3000RPM version do yourself a favour and pick up some in line fan speed reducers to lower the RPM of the fan a tad.

I have a Gigabyte RTX4090 Gaming OC in a Hyte Y60 case. Unbeknownst to me, you can only vertically mount GPUs in this case. Since the card takes up 3.5+ slots, the fans are only 4mm from the glass. I have 2 Phanteks SK140's in the bottom blowing up. Not really sufficient, nor an ideal cooling solution. I'm going to replace the one under the 4090's PCB with one of these NF-A140 iPPC 3000 PWM fans and see what happens. The most obstruction is on that fan due to the PCIE riser cable being right there as well. Hopefully the $30 6.58mmH2O Noctua fan has enough pressure to still blow air through the fins and heat pipes within the GPU. The shroud of the GPU is quite small with lots of fin exposure on both sides with plenty of passthrough with enough pressure. I'm not a teenager into kid games like APEX or Fortnite where I'm worried about my friends hearing noise from my PC. As long as they cool and won't damage my hearing then they're perfect for me. If I see improvement, but not as much as I'd like to see, then I'll replace the other SK140 as well. Noise be damned

Putting 3 fans on the NH-d15 won’t really give you extra performance, but a lot less noise if configured properly. For you fan layout, sure, will work like a charm, but a bit overkill for your use case ^^ You could also go for a regular nh-d15, 2x 140s in the front, a S12A in the back and top-back, and you would be all set. Putting an extra 140 on the nh-d15 will take away some noise, but anything from there on is just unnecessary extra. Extremely high performance extra, but still not really necessary. IPPC fans in general are great, but they are so much overkill for basically everything :p

They are definitely not the "best" anymore. Especially for noise to performance. Bequiet, arctic, thermaltake are better 140mm.

Depends on what you use them for. But even under the "worst" conditions, there is just a small amount of coolers capable of competing under very specific circumstances

I'm using 3 of these on the arctic 420mm AIO using ryzen 5950x at max speed when I'm rendering and the temps never crossed 63°c in summer 😁

ZORZ! I'm about to do that. Was really reluctant cause I like silent but fuck it yah?

@@ZorzGaming I use three of the 2k version with my Arctic 420mm (also on a 5950x) and generally top out in the mid to high 50s. Use an "enter through rad" rather than an "exit through rad" layout with three more of the 2k as exhaust fans and my PSU in its own air channel. Except under heavier loads the system is nearly silent. A lot of how quiet your system will be is based on case choice, vibration isolation, and and proper fan curves. I used the Evolv X case which STS reviewed last year.

@@TheInfinityzeN that sounds awesome! I found that it didn't reduce my temps by more than 1 C and it just wasn't worth it.

@@ZorzGaming If all you got from the 3k fans was 1 C, then you were ether really restricting their speed or there is some other issue interfering with your cooling system. If you are heavily limiting their speed, then buying the 2k fans for less money is the way to go.

@@TheInfinityzeN No I had them all at 3k. Another youtuber found the same thing... My case is an open air case so maybe that means I'm already getting great temps. But the 1700 RPM arctic fans vs the 3000 noctua was a 1 degree difference if that for 10 x the noise :(
